Glass containers are generally produced in very large volumes through a molding process; the prolonged use of the mold lead to its wear, with the consequent variation of the required characteristics of the finished product. One of the approaches that can be adopted in order to understand if the production process is efficient is the statistical control of product quality. In this phase it becomes essential to be able to trace the mold that has physically made the bottle, so as to be able to act upstream on one of the variables that is known to generate defect: the wear of the mold.
One of the solutions adopted by bottle manufacturers in order to understand which mold produced which piece, is to write an identification number of the mold on each sample. This number is printed as a digital code, called dot code. Every quality control machine needs to be able to recognize a dot code and associate it with the inspection result: Caliber
Dot Scan has been made for that; the system reads the dot code of each bottle and communicates it to any control machine.
